Kayaking in Deception Pass State Park

Overview
No experience is necessary to join this professionally guided kayak trip. Bowman Bay is the perfect place for beginners to feel comfortable paddling on the sea. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers. If you plan to visit Deception Pass State Park then don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see it from the unique perspective of a sea kayak!

Directions were excellent; it was easy to find AKT. We had a delightful conversation with talented nature photographer Toshi while our guide Ryan set up the gear. Ryan proved very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, and about the geology of the area. We were able to get close to porpoises who we think didn't sense us with their echolocation because we were sitting in the middle of a bed of sea kelp. Stunningly beautiful area. Ryan was delightful. Would be happy to do a longer tour.

We went on the three hour bioluminescence tour with Ryan and it was magical! As always, AKT’s guide, efficient and safe set up was top notch. I take visiting family and friends out with them at least a couple of times every summer and have never been disappointed. This was our first time out of Bowman bay and it was so well organized. I really appreciated that the kayaks were right there and we didn’t have to do any hauling (especially in the dark afterward) Their marina location is equally easy. Boats already in the water so it makes the most of your time. The real value however lies in their professional and knowledgeable guides. I’ve been with people who have never kayaked and the guides are so calm and encouraging! Just the best experience.
